One More Day

They met on a cruise It was love at first sight They were together all the time They were the others light Everyone thought They would grow old One day he got on one knee with diamonds and gold They said their vows And went to fly away But a horrid test result Got in the lovers way At home they heard the news

Oh why'd this have to happen Our life just started out She said God has a plan Baby please don’t shout I already accepted it We need to move on He said I'll fix this babe It was great, it cant be gone Oh, I will find a way Just give it one more day

Well the cancer took her away And he was driving one night He can't believe she's gone He couldn't take the fight Drinking at the bar Was where he was before He was there all the time But he wont be there anymore He hit another car And went rolling into the ditch Oh up in heaven God could see her flinch She turned to him and said

I'll do anything Oh father please It cant happen this way I will always blame me He cant lose his life Just because it was my time to go Straighten him up And put him back out on the road There has to be a way He deserves one more day

Well that boy lived And that girl is smiling from afar He's thinking about her And knows there is a star Watching over him She's happy he's okay And will go on with his life And maybe love another day
